How exactly do I get access to the older .INF file though? I went ahead and took a look at the folder and sure enough, the .40 .INF was there. The .22 driver was an .EXE so I figured that I had to install the .EXE in order to gain access to the .INF.

I opened the .INF file and it did indeed say it's the "DriverVer=03/22/2010,1.12.64.22" but your manual install method didn't work.

"Windows could not find driver software for your device"

The driver on the disc says DRV1.12.XX.32 which as far as I know, doesn't allow the HDCP trick.

You've confused me as you first said the .inf was from the new version and then said it's the old version.

Ahh, sorry. I was using the latest drivers again so I could record using Composite. Better than nothing I guess.

Yep, when I run the 1.12.64.22 .EXE, everything extracts to the folder. I then used Device manager to search that folder and that didn't work.

I have just tried the disk method (I didn't bother before because the driver didn't allow the HDCP trick) and it still doesn't work. Probably because the driver folder on the disk contains .EXEs, not .INFs.

Also, Windows 7 doesn't have the "Have Disk" method. All I did was tell it to go to "E:\\Drivers\\H727".

So far I've been able to get AMC to do the HDCP check and allow me to record in VirtualDub and VH Capture in SD and 1080i/p ONLY. Trying to set to 720p gives me a green screen with audio.

I would very much prefer to capture in AMC because it eliminates interlacing that I get on VD and VHC. But I can't get the HDCP trick to work to get it to capture via AMC.

Also, the videos that I record are fairly choppy (forced to record at 1080i). My computer specs are not too bad at all, seeing as others have captured perfect videos without skips with weaker hardware.

Perhaps it's my HDD's Speed? I'm fine with capturing at SD (rarely skips) for now, but I just want to know whether the skips are normal with my current hardware.

There is no trick or workaround to capture HDCP content in AVer MediaCenter.

It uses the worst/simplest possible deinterlacer, which is a 2-line average aka blend deinterlacing, reducing the resolution. Applying the Deinterlace filter in VirtualDub with the Blend Fields option will do the same thing if you really want to.

Alright. VHC provides a smoother preview but when I play the view back, I get tons of artifacts and freezes. Maybe it's just my computer? My average FPS is no where near the set framerate, 50FPS. Here's a test video for you guys (34MB). Just wondering whether it's not just me.

EDIT: I changed the codec to Uncompressed in VHC and everything is much much better. Captures the PS3's XMB just fine, but the average FPS I got was 44ish compared to the set 50FPS. Does it happen to you guys too?

Also, sound crackles some times during preview but not during playback.

EDIT 2: Playback of the Lossless file causes VLC to stop and load sometimes, but after compressing to DivX via VD everything is smoother. Overall if I can get the framerate to maximum, I'll be an even happier man.

If you're going to use DivX you have to configure it in the video compressor settings.

Here are the settings I use, experiment to see which settings give you the best results.

I played around with it tonight and came up with similar settings to yours, though some things are different with the regular non-Pro version. With the Speed/Quality slider set to 1 and Enhanced Multithreading on, I can capture DivX in VDub without drops, but only if I disable the Overlay/Preview. Not sure why that makes a difference as my CPU usage still isn't close to 100% on any core.
